Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that varying the conditions would have in relation to the design of the new annex on the setting of Fisher Hill House (a Grade II listed building) and the character and appearance of the Fisher Street Conservation Area
- The effect on the intrinsic qualities and purposes of the South Downs National Park with specific regard to its landscape character and dark skies
What decided it
The proposed amendments would cause less than substantial harm to the setting of the listed building and character of the conservation area, and would fail to conserve the landscape character of the South Downs National Park, and these harms would not be outweighed by the public benefits of demolishing the former flat and the principle of reinstating a previous barn form.
